Do you like Apple software?
How about Apple providing a once paid for service for free?
“Free” and “Apple” do not usually go hand-in-hand, but with the release of Xcode 7, things have certainly changed.

Readerly – Sean Miller
by Sean Miller on August 4, 2015 No commentsAre you a developer?
Are you an artist?
Have you ever considered that apps could be art?
I started my own app-as-art journey about a year and a half ago when I had an idea to build an app that would help students develop their critical reading skills. The biggest challenge in building this app (Readerly) has been in coming to terms with how monumental a task building—and marketing—an app can be.
With the idea for Readerly buzzing around in my head, I explored my development options and quickly discovered LiveCode was the ideal tool with which to build my app. Learning to code with LiveCode has helped me to appreciate that it’s possible to be more than just a consumer of other people’s apps. Now that I’m more familiar with the fundamentals of LiveCode as a development platform, my eyes are opened to a host of other possibilities for apps.

by Jana Doughty on August 3, 2015 No comments“I think LiveCode made it possible for our organization to produce this app. Without it, we wouldn’t have had the ability to do it.”
Adam is a Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Volunteer. His team needed an easy way to educate boaters about water safety, so they created a Safe Boating App with LiveCode that details all the ins and outs of boating safety and educates boaters with the aim to protect and save their lives.

Rotunda Software
by Jana Doughty on August 1, 2015 No commentsWe chose LiveCode because it addressed all of our needs. It is cross platform, can run on the server side, and was an ideal choice for our thinkclient and cloud based software architecture.
Top Benefits
- The time from new feature conception to implementation is very fast. With LiveCode, implementation of new features takes days when it would take weeks or months in other traditional environments.
- Upfront and ongoing costs are affordable. Building the app and implementing new features is very affordable.
- Leveraging on Linux. By leveraging LiveCode on Linux, Rotunda Software was able to reuse some of its client logic on the server side, which continues to be incredibly powerful.
About Rotunda Software
Rotunda Software is based in San Francisco and specializes in developing Volunteer Management Software.
Challenges
Rotunda Software needed to develop a best value, highly effective volunteer scheduling system that volunteers could access from a browser with no training.
The system had to be able to handle the complexity of scheduling, be available from the browser as a Cloud Based Service (SaaS), deliver a great user experience for volunteers to check their schedules, and it had to offer best value.
Results
Rotunda Software created a successful Volunteer Scheduling System app with LiveCode and now has over 2,000 customers.

Do you like beach holidays and analogies?

Gayane Ghandilyan – Digital Pomegranate
by Jana Doughty on July 29, 2015 No comments“We found out that with Livecode we can be very productive for mobile development. This is true, specially for those people who have never programmed before. Now, Livecode is the main development language at Digital Pomegranate.”
Gayane Ghandilyan didn’t know how to program. When she graduated from university and became the Operations Officer at Digital Pomegranate, a startup tech company, she realized the importance in everyone learning to code, including herself. After learning LiveCode, Gayane and the Digital Pomegranate team were able to efficiently, effectively, and consistently develop multi-platform apps in Armenia.
